Year End

So, last year was a good year. One of our least eventful yet.

• We managed to stay in Virginia, although we did, technically, move from Glen Allen to Richmond, but that doesn't really count.
• I got a job and managed not to move to another state, so I am about to work here a whole year.
• I turned 27 and Nick turned 28.
• Our oldest niece turned 1 and our youngest niece was born.
• Nick and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary and look forward to many, many more.
• My oldest friend, Megan got married.
• Nick's college buddies, Nick and Rhonda got married.
• Nick's college buddy, Andrew, married his girlfriend, Lauren.
• My dad turned 60.
• A dog tried to eat Daisy.
• Spidey and The Sir are still alive.
• I got into grad school.
• I saw Willie Nelson.

I think that's about it. If I think of anything I will add it. The important thing is that my family is healthy (besides my tummy) and everyone is happy.

Best Jobs of 2008

I am very excited that Urban Planner made it to the list of the Best Careers of 2008 . I am not surprised that the most awful job of EVER did not make it to the list. Sloth Watcher at The Dallas World Aquarium. They had a sloth out in the open, hanging from a tree, and it was some poor guy's job to watch the sloth. I don't know if he was more scared of what it would do the people or what the people would do to it.

P.S. I hate sloths.

Some Things

There are certain things that people should never have to do. Getting screened for parasites is one of them. That's all.

Christmas Time

Nick and I almost finished our Christmas shopping this weekend and I am happy to say that we have presents under our tree. We haven't had presents under our tree for a long time. Not since we lived in Columbia. Two years ago, we lived in Texas, so we shipped most of our gifts straight to Columbia so we wouldn't have to pack them, then we sent Daisy off to the kennel and hopped on our plane home. Last year, we were living in corporate housing and all of our decorations were in storage, so we did have a pile of presents, but no tree under which to place them. At least, last year we got to pack Daisy up in the car and drive her to Columbia with us. She loves her grandparents. So this year, we finally have it all together. All of our decorations are up, we have presents under the tree and we can pack up the car with Daisy and our gifts and drive to Columbia.

Good News

I got accepted into Grad School. I start in January.

Willie Willie Willie Willie!

Willie Nelson is coming to Virginia. I still kick myself for missing him in Texas so now we plan to attend every concert we can. He will be performing at the NorVA in Norfolk in March. I already bought my fan club tickets and I can't wait.

We had a good weekend!

Despite being completely exhausted this weekend, I still managed to have a blast with Nick. We decided to buy a new Christmas tree and ornaments. First, we had to decide how tall of a tree we should buy.



That should be about 7 and a half feet.
We found a great tree and some cute new ornaments. We do need a new tree topper though.



And later, this happened.
